CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world and beautiful people, discover things, allow mystery and truth to encompass me

ABOUT ME

"When the world wearies
and society ceases to satisfy
there is always the garden"
Minnie Aumonier

first word: moon
I used to memorize poems like the short lil one above.
New experiences, enjoying life,meeting people and seeing places are all great things! I have a bad feeling of restlessness a lot.. maybe it's not bad, but it's prominent!

PHILOSOPHY

to learn, experience, grow, laugh and feel. Would love to improve my language repertoire (know a bit of French and a smidgeon of Italian)!

Some copy written quotes- I cannot claim originality!

"Well, here we are, trapped in the amber of this moment," Vonnegut

"He had loved then had found himself. But most people love to loose themselves," Hesse

"It is just another day in the motion of interestingness" Kafka

"Dance my legs down to the knees!" Morrissey

"The butterfly is a creature of daylight or, sometimes, of dusk- A masterpiece of design."

"Teeth like baseballs, eyes like jellied fire," Hunter S. Thompson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly, I don't have a stable homestead for you to call your own! Someday, I'll be able to sit still- not quite yet!

SO! I'm on the traveling end. I'm looking for places to stay as I bop around and around and around the country! A good guest- I'm up for anything fun as long as I don't die in the process.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

SOON to come!

Interests

writing, playing, experiencing music, woodcut printmaking, archives and archiving, roaming through museums, roaming through libraries, roaming through cities, roaming through most places, learning how the natural world functions, social gatherings!, awareness, human nature, meeting new peeps, widening my understanding of everything (though I know we'll never know much), gemstones, folklore, the unreal beauty of natural organisms, experiences, aesthetic beauty (not just fashion mag beauty- plantlife, traintracks, red skies, anything you can see which makes you inhale), radio shows sometimes, people talking to other people, people in general, how things work, I'm like a kid the older I get, not sure about that sense of wonder. I love the ocean, though I've only been on the coasts a few times, sailing, fresh air!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

kinship, conversation, open ears, music appreciation- we all teach in some way.

I know a bit about a few things- observing- sometimes I can be just a listener and you won't hear me yell my two cents all of the time. This just means I'm taking it all in. I try to be extremely multifaceted- meaning, I try to see EVERY angle of things (WHY people act certain ways, viewpoints, etc). This makes the decision process frusturating for me but I think, in the, end, allows me to see a lot more than I would if narrowmindedness prevailed! I don't know yet.

I am positive you could teach me something valuable.
